Yes, and that tax arrangement allows her, eventually, to avoid £280 million in inheritance tax and about two or three million per annum net in ordinary tax. She is twice as rich as the Queen and has about four extremely luxurious residences (that we know of). The pretence that her finances are completely separate from her hubby is a laugh. Let me put it to you this way, Bonzo. If you are a wannabe benefits claimant, married to someone with savings, you're stuffed. You can't claim even if their savings are incredibly modest. That applies to the poorest in society. But it doesn't apply to the uber-rich like Sunak and his missus. You hardly need to be an ultra-lefty to see how bloody unfair that is, do you? One more thing: her dad founded that company in which, without doing any work, she now has a stake worth £700 million. OK for some, eh, Bonzo?
